Unlike Manatee County, which uses a lottery to determine appointments, Sarasota’s system is first come, first served.
New registrants will be issued a number when they first sign up.
As of 9:15 Friday morning 104,770 were registered to get vaccinated. Sarasota had scheduled 4,072 appointments as of Thursday.
Whoever is 4,073 in line will get the next appointment.
This story comes from Aspirations Journalism, an initiative of The Patterson Foundation and the Sarasota Herald-Tribune to inform, inspire and engage the community to take action on issues related to COVID-19 vaccination efforts.
